About us:

UF Global Health, a nonprofit organization within the UF Foundation, is comprised of physicians and medical and pharmacy students. Each year, six groups of over 100 medical students and 50 medical professionals travel annually to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, and Nicaragua on humanitarian medical outreach trips. Through partnerships with local funders, medical students, and the communities we serve abroad, UF Global Health makes a lasting commitment to provide healthcare where the need is greatest. In our clinics, we deliver the highest quality medical care possible. We provide free medical care, health and hygiene education, and medications to a population with severely limited access to healthcare. Last year, we provided medical care to more than 6,100 individuals while distributing thousands of dollars worth of medications and health care supplies.
